Ärende: GOVERNMENT SCHOOL FOR MUSLIMS
=====================================
GOVERNMENT SCHOOL FOR MUSLIMS

Civil rights activists are attacking NYC school Chancellor Joel Klein's racial
integration policies, because he says they are no longer necessary for city
schools. According to a 2003 study (conducted by civil rights activists), New
York government schools are the most segregated in the country. Activists'
solution is to bus student from surrounding suburbs into New York City schools.
New York City schools are three quarters black or Hispanic. The suburban
schools, well, are not.

I'm sure the taxpayers of the surrounding NYC counties would be thrilled to be
paying their astronomical tax dollars, and then be forced to bus their children
to schools in the city. Just so everyone can be "fair."

But Joel Klein might take this approach to the extreme. In Brooklyn, he is
allowing for the first all-Muslim public school. It seems that racial
segregation is OK and so is religious segregation. The Khalil Gibran
International Academy for Arabic and Islamic Culture is a leftwing,
Arab/Islamic school, otherwise known as a madrassa.

And it is funded by your tax dollars.

Let's be clear ... I'm not saying that this is a training center for
terrorists. The opposite may, in fact, be true. Just to show what a fair and
open kind of guy I am, let's take a look at the curriculum for one of the
classes. How would you like to take a class called "Hirabah-Not Jihad"? Here's
a brief glance at your syllabus.

"The purpose of this activity is to acquaint students with the concept of
jihad. The lesson discusses the distinction between jihad as a principle of
social justice, and as a military institution entrusted to authorities in
society. Students learn about the categories of illegitimate violence in
society, namely rebellion and terrorism, brigandage and other forms of mayhem
against the public. Students should be able to:

    * define jihad in its literal and applied meanings, as a principle and as
an institution
    * describe legitimate conduct of war according to Islamic law
    * differentiate between rebellion, (baghy), and terrorism, (hirabah),
according to Muslim jurists
    * explain how Muslim jurists characterize hirabah, and describe the basis
for their judgment that it is a serious, punishable criminal act."

But everything there is not all peace and enlightenment. The principal is
Dhabah Almontaser. She calls herself a "multicultural educator." At a 2005
fundraiser for The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), Almontaser
received an award with Ghazi Khankan. During a rally Khankan shouted to the
crowd "I bring you salaams and greetings from the Mujahideen of CAIR!" Now
we've talked about CAIR. This is an organization founded and at least somewhat
staffed by people who are very open about their desire to see the United States
under Islamic Law.

Almonstaser was a public school teacher when 9/11 hit. When her students asked
why Muslims and Arabs were behind the attacks she said that it was not really
Arabs and Muslims who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks because she, as their
teacher, and expert has determined that they could not have been.

    "I don't recognize the people who committed the attacks as either Arabs or
Muslims," ...Those people who did it have stolen my identity as an Arab and
have stolen my religion."

Fair enough ... but then four years later she's singing the praises of an
organization (CAIR) that was founded by supporters of an Islamic terrorist
organization, Hamas?

The American Arab Family Support Center (AAFSC) is the main organizer of the
school. Their webpage used to read that they are trying to encourage and aid
Arabs to use all kinds of taxpayer funded facilities and services to help them
"reap the benefits of the American dream".

But the real story here is the use of taxpayer dollars to create and fund a
school specifically for students of one particular religion. I guess it's OK so
long as that religion is Islam. Just try that with a Christian school and see
how far you get.
